Two years after Yi Heng closed down, in 1056 BC, Xiqi Jichang was called king of the state, that is, King Wen of Zhou Dynasty.
Although he was called king, he was still cautious and attentive to the Shang Dynasty. He even offered sacrifices to the former king of the Shang Dynasty in his ancestral hall, so as to paralyze the ears and eyes of emperor Xin, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty.
Ji Chang got the guidance of Yi Heng in the book of changes. Naturally, he knew how to change with the times and how to grasp the best time to send troops.
A year later, Jichang sent troops to attack gourong in the name of sharing worries for the Shang Dynasty.
The following year, he attacked and attacked Mi Xu, who invaded neighboring countries. This made king Zhou of Shang greatly appreciate it. He thought that Xiqi was really helping the Shang Dynasty to solve the problems. Instead of being prepared, he gave king wine to reward Jichang.
After winning both wars, Xiqi finally relieved the worries of the merchants.
In 1053 BC, Jichang sent troops to attack Li (southwest of Changzhi City, Shanxi Province); in the next year, he attacked Ying (now Qinyang City); in the next year, he captured Chongguo, a favorite Minister of the Shang Dynasty, Chonghou tiger.
After the victory of the three wars, Xiqi cut off the relationship between the Shang Dynasty and the western countries.
In the same year, Jichang moved its capital to Fengfeng (now the southwest corner of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province), which made the capital less susceptible to the invasion of Rongdi and more conducive to the eastward invasion.
So far, the strategic deployment of Xiqi logging merchants has been basically completed.
In 1050 B.C., Ji Chang, King Wen of Zhou, died of illness, and his son Ji Fa succeeded to the throne, that is, King Wu of Zhou. After King Wu succeeded to the throne, he still adhered to the destiny of King Wen and continued to expand eastward by taking advantage of the opportunity that the Shang Dynasty had no time to look west.
At this time, King Zhou of Shang Dynasty didn't realize that Xiqi tiger was lying on his side.
He seems to have forgotten that he saw Yi Heng and other immortals in Chaoge, and then he was in high spirits again.
Under the constant encouragement of Su Daji, he continued to carry forward his fighting talent and his arrogant and complacent personality.
Although he won many times and captured countless prisoners, he made the song empty and had no soldiers to defend.
In January 1046 B.C., Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, led 300 chariots, 3000 Huben soldiers and tens of thousands of infantry soldiers to March eastward.
On February 21 of the same year, the Zhou army arrived in Mengjin and joined up with Yong, Lu, Peng, PU, Shu and other tribes. The total number of coalition troops reached 45000, and many monarchs of Fang kingdom came in person.
On February 26, it rained before the battle was finished. According to history, the United Army had a total of "six divisions", with 300 chariots and 3000 Huben as an "armored division" and the first echelon.
More than 40000 people were divided into five "divisions" and formed a square array at the back, forming the second echelon.
Later, the United Army continued to March eastward in the rain, crossing the Yellow River (Yellow River) from Sidi (now Sishui Town, Xingyang city), and then went northward to Baiquan (now the northwest of Huixian county) and went eastward.
On the 27th, the pastoral area swore, and on the 28th, it was recorded that "Muye Yangyang, tanche huanghuang, Siyi pengpeng". Wei Shi Shang father, Wei Ying Yang. If the king of Wu is cool, he will attack the big merchants, and he will face the Tomb Sweeping Day. "
Emperor Xin, king of Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, had never expected the rebellion of Xiqi. Naturally, he was caught off guard. In a hurry, he had to lead his troops and meet the battle in a hurry.
But when the troops of the imperial court and the Chinese army attacked Dongyi, where could there be any elite generals? The only available is the garrison.
Although the guards are fierce, but the number is only 3000 or 4000, how can they resist ten times the number of Xiqi troops?
In desperation, di Xinwei reorganized the 700000 Dongyi slaves who had been captured into a slave army, and placed them in front of the battlefield. The guard forces pressed down behind them, hoping to stop Xiqi.
However, under the attack of the fierce Xiqi elite soldiers, where could the slave army resist? It is a hundred deaths and no life to go forward, but it is a life of death to go back. Therefore, they turn around and flee one after another. On the contrary, they scatter the small number of guards behind them.
When Di Xin saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran away. However, if there were no soldiers in the court, he was like a sick lion without claws and teeth. Where could he escape?
When he saw that the general situation had passed away, all the officials in the court had fled and rebelled. He could not help but howl and grieve.
But to his great gratitude, at the last moment, there was still a man beside him watching the army approaching.
Dressed in gorgeous costumes, wearing gold beads and Jasper, slim waist, full chest, tightly nestled in his side, a pair of sad eyes never left his face.
He was gratified, where can control the plaintive eyes hidden in what, open arms will her into his arms, is very pitiful.
However, the right hand overturned the oil lamp on the right side, and the burning fire instantly ignited, drowning their bodies in the flames.
At this point, the Shang Dynasty officially perished.
The battle of Muye ended the 600 year history of the Shang Dynasty.
Since King Wu of Zhou had gained the world, he set the capital of Haojing, respected his father's order, and granted the world a great deal.
All the members of the royal family and meritorious officials were granted to all the princes of the world, and each had its own territory.
Among them, there are 53 princes with Ji surname and 18 princes with different surnames, including Yan, Qi, Qin, Chu, Jin and Zhao.
This system of enfeoffment created a new measure for the emperor to command the world. Many princes were escorted outside, and the central dynasty lived in peace and stability. At the beginning, when the royal clan blood was still strong, it was naturally stable.But after a hundred years or even hundreds of years, this relationship will gradually weaken and weaken, and the powerful princes will eventually threaten the central dynasty.
However, Ji Fa didn't know that he was like Ji Chang. He put morality first, put the people first, and took rites and music education as the main idea. He ruled the country by virtue.
Under his leadership, the Zhou Dynasty developed rapidly. In a short period of time, it expanded its territory more than twice.
...
in the thirty-six days, Yi Heng's figure trembled slightly and his eyes opened slowly.
When you see the scene in front of you, you are confused as if you don't know where you are, and then gradually clear and bright, and then you become extremely surprised.
I don't know how many years have passed since he finally devoured and digested the first wandering soul in his soul and made it disappear from his body.
Although a wandering soul is nothing to a million people, as long as we find a way, as long as we have enough time, we will eliminate them all one day.
His body vibrated slightly, as if to eliminate the residue of a wandering soul. When he calmed down, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in it.
...
in a twinkling of an eye, the Zhou Dynasty witnessed rapid development and prosperity.
The people live and work in peace and contentment. They have food every day and sleep at night. They have houses to cover the wind and rain, and fields to grow grain.
At this time, the Zhou Dynasty, civilization and etiquette can finally maximize the spread of the world, the world is polite, people talk with ceremony.
Spring and autumn, the sun and the moon shuttle, blink of an eye, and two hundred years have passed.
Yi Heng opened his dust laden eyes for a long time, as deep as the universe, unable to see half of the emotions.
In the purple mansion, the black spots in the body of the soul have almost disappeared. Occasionally, a little black spots flash past. It is just a fish that has missed the net, and it will soon be swallowed up.
At this time, the body has shrunk by half, but only about 11 Zhang.
However, the whole body has recovered the pure gray color before. Although it becomes smaller, it seems that the energy contained in it is much more than before.
"You, the threat of wandering soul has been eliminated. I don't know how long it has been. Now, let's see if Hongjun's understanding of the way of heaven can surprise me!"
For a long time, he opened his mouth suddenly, and his voice was intermittent, but it was like that from the depths of the universe, disturbing the surrounding stars.
...
prosperity is bound to decline, and long-term integration must be divided. Time is in a hurry, and two hundred years have passed.
At this time, the Central Dynasty gradually declined, and the four princes gradually became powerful.
The kinship of blood was already weak, and the loyalty of loyal officials was no longer there. The four princes began to defy the central government.
On the other hand, the forces of gourong, Dirong and Guifang on the western grassland also gradually increased, invading the border from time to time and forcibly abducting the people.
The central dynasty was unable to invade Xirong, so it had to order the princes to recruit troops and buy horses, build chariots and refine weapons.
Among them, the fiefdom of Qin state was close to the grassland, so it was appointed. In the process of conquering Xirong, it gradually became stronger.
On this day, a Taoist came into the city of Haojing.
He was tall and straight, but his face was cool, and his eyes were dim under his thick eyebrows, which were incompatible with his tall figure.
Yi Heng walks in the streets of Haojing. Although he is a little curious, it is difficult to make his face change and his eyes shine.
At this time, he had already known that he had been closed for more than 500 years. However, he could not feel the passage of time and the change of space in the 36 heavy days, so he just felt like yesterday.
After coming out, we found that the world had already changed. The Shang Dynasty, together with the remaining evils of the Shang Dynasty, only existed in the history without any trace.
Even in the Zhou Dynasty, it has been on the decline. The princes are powerful and the central government is declining. Xirong has no power to invade.
At this time, Haojing was in danger, and was in danger of being occupied by Xirong at any time.
But even so, in the streets of Haojing at this time, you can feel the prosperity and civilization of this place for more than 500 years.
Although the people were in a hurry, they were polite and polite, and they would bow down when they reached out.
He had no time to think about it, so he stood out from the crowd.
Looking up at the king's palace, the king of Zhou you, who lived in the palace, was the king of Zhou you, the princes of the beacon fire drama.
He knew that as long as the master of the Royal Palace lit a beacon fire on the border for the first time, and used it to frequently win the heartbreaking smile of the peerless beauty Baosi, the days of the existence of the city would be numbered.
Walking in a slightly crowded street, you don't have to worry about bumping into the bodies of passers-by in a hurry. Even the common people in Haojing already know that the crisis is coming. Why don't the owner of the palace know?
There are always people with the old and the young driving cattle carts out of the city.
Hundreds of years of prosperity here are about to be destroyed. He wondered whether he would stop it when Xirong troops came to the city and slashed at civilians with long swords?
Or, at this time, to warn the owners of the palace that they should not treat the border beacon fire as a joke?But on second thought, after closing down, is this history also moving in the established direction? Why bother yourself?
"Hehe, yes, man follows the earth, the earth follows the heaven, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows the nature. However, Hongjun's understanding of the way of heaven is unique. In this way, he will be a bystander and wait for the origin and the end of the world."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to invite people of insight to understand Heaven and earth together."
